Rheumatology

We diagnose and treat rheumatological inflammatory conditions (conditions that can affect joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones).

We are a specialist unit, covering south London, Kent, Surrey and Sussex.

Conditions we treat

Inflammatory conditions:

Non-inflammatory musculoskeletal pain:

  • biomechanical pain
  • chronic (long-term) sports injuries
  • joint pain and other associations with hypermobile joints

For chronic (long-term) pain, please refer to the chronic pain service.

Supporting transition

We provide specialist clinics for teenagers and young adults. This is to help them prepare to move to adult services. We usually ask to see young people on their own at the beginning of an appointment, if they are happy to do this, and invite parents and carers in afterwards.

Our team

Our team is made up of a group of experts including doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and psychologists.
